Local-currency pricing
Set a local price for each SKU in each market. Prices display in 135+ currencies and settle in 25+.
Gaming
Payments for live-service games and player stores
Sell in-app purchases, virtual currency, battle passes and subscriptions across web, mobile, PC and console — with RankEight as merchant of record so tax, refunds and compliance are handled for you.
A consultant's view: what RankEight covers for a game business today, and what to confirm before you integrate.
Part of the same solution as on-site realtime ticketing and checkout
Official payments, worldwide
Sell direct to players worldwide, in their own currency
An official game store works best when players see prices in their own currency and pay the way they usually pay. RankEight delivers that through one integration.
Local payment methods
Cards, wallets, carrier billing and 200+ local payment methods through one integration.
One complete payment solution
As merchant of record, RankEight handles tax, refunds and chargebacks in each market and pays out net revenue on a standard T+2 schedule. Web, mobile, PC and console share one entitlement model.
Monetization models
Every way games make money
In-app purchases
Consumables and non-consumables through one catalog API for web, mobile and PC. Entitlement grants are server-authoritative, never client-trusted.
Virtual currency & wallets
Top-up flows, a balance ledger, and market-by-market price points for coin and gem SKUs.
Battle passes & seasons
Time-boxed passes, tiered unlocks, mid-season upgrades with proration.
Subscriptions & live-service
Recurring billing with pause and resume, plus smart retries and card-updater to cut involuntary churn.
DLC, add-ons & gifting
Bundle pricing, regional availability, pre-orders and gifting to another player account.
Web shop out-of-app
A hosted or embeddable player store that can bypass app-store commission where store policy allows, with a deep link back into the game.
Engine & platform coverage
Ship on the engines and stores you already use
Unity
RankEight Unity package (C#): catalog, checkout and a sandbox toggle. Works alongside Unity IAP.
Unreal
Blueprint + C++ plugin for storefront calls and entitlement checks.
Steam
Reconcile RankEight web-shop orders with Steam entitlements and the Inventory Service.
Mobile stores
Run App Store and Google Play IAP next to RankEight web payments under one entitlement model.
Console
Web-shop and companion-app purchases grant console entitlements via your backend — no in-title card entry, certification-friendly.
Backend API
REST + signed webhooks, an idempotent order API, and grant/revoke entitlement events.
Player trust & compliance
The parts a game integration actually gets stuck on
Refunds
Self-serve and agent refunds, partial or full, with configurable windows; each refund fires an entitlement-revoke webhook.
Chargeback abuse
Device and account linking, velocity rules and a deny-list shared across your titles; auto-representment with evidence templates.
Account takeover
Step-up 3-D Secure, login-risk signals, purchase-time challenges and withdrawal locks.
Parental & spending controls
Spend caps, purchase approval, session limits and receipts to a guardian email.
Age & region gating
Restrict SKUs by age rating and jurisdiction using geo-IP and declared age.
Loot boxes & random items
Probability-disclosure fields, spend tracking and market-by-market toggles for jurisdictions that restrict paid random items. RankEight does not process real-money gambling.
How it works for games
From SKU to entitlement in four steps
- 1
1 · Model your catalog
Define SKUs, currencies and entitlements once; RankEight maps them to every storefront and engine SDK.
- 2
2 · Take the payment
Hosted, embedded or in-engine checkout — cards, wallets, carrier billing and 200+ local methods.
- 3
3 · Grant the entitlement
RankEight sends a signed entitlement.granted webhook; your game server unlocks the content. Idempotent, retried and replayable.
- 4
4 · Settle & comply
As merchant of record, RankEight remits tax, handles refunds and chargebacks, and pays net revenue on a rolling T+2 schedule.
Availability & settlement
Concrete numbers to evaluate against
Coverage
Sell in 190+ countries; pay out to 45+. Prices shown in 135+ currencies, settled in 25+.
Settlement timing
Rolling payout, default T+2 business days; weekly or monthly options. First payout follows a short verification hold.
Not supported for games
Real-money gambling, cash-prize sweepstakes and secondary-market key resale. Loot-box sales are gated by jurisdiction; UGC marketplaces need review.
Docs & sandbox
Full REST reference, webhook schemas and sandbox keys in the developer portal, with test cards and a simulator for entitlement events.
